UNSPSC 85562725 Extirpation of matter from left mastoid sinus, open approach (Commodity) shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy label and the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not involve mastoid surgery but rather encompass occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit network management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to capture a broad range of medical administration and clinical staffing services that state and local health systems, retirement boards, and detention authorities are currently soliciting, suggesting either that the code is being misapplied or that the UNSPSC category has drifted significantly from its nominal scope.

Activity under this code spans multiple issuing bodies: municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), city health benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county benefits administration (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Representative solicitations include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations with cost-based scoring; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing due October 7, 2026. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with the most recent activity concentrated in the Pacific and Southwest regions.
